The purpose of this study was to explain the differences in social problem solving and rumination in different female age groups living in Shiraz city. The sample consisted of 470 females aged teen to elder. Social Problem Solving Inventory-Revised: Short Form and Rumination Questionnaire were used in this study.

The data analysis shows that there is a significant and positive relation between women’s sense of security and women’s social well-being and supervision effect on this relation. Social security has the greatest impact on social integration and social coherence.

This study was conducted to propose an explanation model for mother-daughter conflict based on mother personality, maternal marital conflict, mother conflict resolution style and daughter conflict resolution style. This study was a type of correlation studies relying on multi variable regression statistical sample and structural equation model. The sample included 160 pairs of adolescent girls and their mothers. They were randomly selected from guidance school students in Naeen city. The research instruments included parental attitudes index, child attitude toward mother scales, conflict management styles, marital conflict questionnaire and NEO-FFI. Structural equation modeling results indicated that measured variables in this study totally could explain 71% of daughter conflict with mother changes and 59% of mother conflict with daughter changes (P<0.05). Among the variables, daughter conflict resolution style with 55% prediction power of daughter conflict variance and maternal marital conflict with 29% prediction power of mother conflict variance had the most important roles. The fit indexes supported the usefulness of this model.

The present study deals with the relationship between parenting styles and the mothers' life styles in Ilam city. First the studies done in this field were reviewed, then based on a theory inspired by Bourdieu and Gidens' ideas six presuppositions were introduced. Four hundred mothers from Ilam were selected by multi-stage random sampling to test the presuppositions. The method of this research was survey and done by means of a questionnaire. The results at the level of correlation show that there is a significant relationship between the variables of life style and parenting style. Based on the results of logistic regression analysis, the Wald statistics show that they explain 72.7, 76.6, and 79.6, 74.1 percent of the dependent variables of dominant, easy-going, opinionated, and neglectful parenting style respectively. This study shows that choosing a different life style results in a different parenting style.
